A Beauty With Multiple Masks
“No, it’s not a burden at all.” Arielle shook her head profusely. “In the past, I didn’t know how to cherish
myself. It was only after receiving your love that I finally realized my self-worth. I promise to hold your
feelings close to my heart.”
After a few moments of silence, Harvey asked, “Do you love him?”
When she heard Harvey’s question, Arielle was reluctant to tell the truth. Nevertheless, Harvey already
knows that I’m married to Vinson. It’d be better if I told him the truth. This way, he won’t be hurt anymore.
“I do.” Arielle nodded without beating around the bush.
When he heard this, Harvey closed his eyes as a look of anguish crossed his face. “All right, please take
your leave,” he replied quietly.
“Your medicine” Arielle began hesitantly.
“Don’t worry; I’ll make sure to take it. Do you take me for an idiot? I won’t sacrifice my life for a woman,”
Harvey interrupted before Arielle could finish her sentence.
“But you became a spy.”
“Don’t overthink it. I went undercover on my own accord. It has nothing to do with you. Since that b*stard
nearly killed me, I merely went to get my revenge,” Harvey uttered in a cold voice.
Arielle nodded. “Remember to take your medicine, all
right? I’ll be back tomorrow to bring you more.”
“There’s no need for you to do that.” Harvey glanced at Arielle with a dark look. “It wouldn’t be
appropriate for a married woman to be seen visiting another man.”
“I’m just here to visit my friend…”
“Stop it!” Harvey bellowed as he lost his temper. “It will be impossible for us to be friends anymore.
Please leave. I don’t want to see you ever again.”
Arielle couldn’t help but clench her fists when she heard Harvey’s hurtful remarks. All of a sudden, it felt
like Harvey had become a complete stranger.
Arielle couldn’t muster the courage to approach him.
“Okay, I’ll take my leave first,” Arielle replied.

Harvey remained silent as he closed his eyes and refused to acknowledge her.
Helpless, Arielle spun on her heel and left.
As soon as she stepped out of the ward, Jared and Harrison rushed over.
“How was it? Did you manage to persuade him?” Harrison asked anxiously.
Arielle shook her head before looking at Jared. “He doesn’t want to see me ever again. I’ll give you his
medicine. Please ask Carter to instruct the doctors to
heat it for half an hour according to the instructions.”
“Let me see you out,” Jared offered with a conflicted look on his face.
“It’s all right,” Arielle denied his offer politely. “Harvey’s recovery will quicken if he’s in a good mood.
Coincidentally, it’s the weekend right now. You should stay here and keep him company. Make sure to be
careful around his wound too.”
“Okay.”
After giving them another reminder about Harvey’s medicine, Arielle left the hospital.
Since Harvey doesn’t want to see me, it’d be best if I respected his wishes and kept my distance.
The moment Arielle departed, Harrison could not restrain himself anymore. Swiftly, he made his way into
the ward. “How could you be so foolish? Who cares if she’s married? Don’t you know that women hate
being stalked? You could’ve tried to win her over after you regained your health. Why did you drive her
away?” he fumed in anger.
Harvey scowled and snapped, “Grandpa, stop bringing this topic up. I don’t have any feelings for her
anymore.”
“No feelings? Your bluff won’t work on me. How could you have a change of heart overnight?”
“I’m telling the truth. I have no interest in married women. Don’t mention her in front of me anymore. Just
the thought of her makes me annoyed,” Harvey replied stubbornly.
Harrison was speechless as he could not tell if Harvey was telling the truth.
On the other hand, the duo’s interactions left Jared with a pounding headache.
I can’t believe this happened because I told Harvey about Boss’ marriage. Seeing how things have
turned out, I should have kept this information to myself.
Yet, it would have been impossible for him to keep it a secret forever.
After Arielle left Harvey’s ward, she dropped by to visit Josee before hailing a cab to Southall Group.
Now that summer has arrived, it is time for me to change Southall Group’s name.
